In a Facebook video shared by account ‘Sydney Name and Shame’, an unidentified driver was seen in a Bunnings carpark manoeuvring their car with enormous wood planks hanging out of the window.

The video was filmed by a passing motorist who saw the Bunnings driver attempting to move their car without hitting other vehicles.

The Facebook post was captioned with: “It's beginning to look a lot like the time when people are taking their stupidity to the next level.”

The length of the woods was estimated to be around three metres. Photos from Facebook / Sydney Name and Shame.​

Many people agreed that the driving act was dangerous and ‘stupid’, with users saying, “How the hell does he expect to drive on the road with that timber sticking out the WRONG side of the car?”

“I really hope the police stopped him before he killed someone,” said another, while a third person added: “Are you serious?!”

​

A representative from Bunnings has reached out and made a statement regarding the issue.

“The safety of our team and customers is our number one priority, and we have extensive training and guidelines in place to make sure everyone leaves our stores safely,” said Luke Foxley, Bunnings New Zealand Area Manager.

“Our team do their best to work with customers to make sure that loads are safe before they leave our stores.”

“This includes materials handling training and resources for the team, as well as assisting customers in splitting loads to make sure that they are a safe weight and safely secured, without excessive overhang.”


This looks so dangerous, both for the driver and anyone around him. Be careful out there, everyone!

Very, very stupid person, Bunnings give trailers free to use if you purchase oversize products from them....then again the idiot probably doesn't have a tow ball....

 

[Jumbody]

Common sense isn't that common these days

 

[Noraya]

unfortunately common sense seem to have died a while ago...

The size of the product would have taken more than one person to load - did he have a passenger or did a Bunnings employee help ? Just asking

According to "The Times" there was an obituary printed in the late fifties about the death or demise of common sense.






The Sad Passing of Common Sense.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.

Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student which only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Panadol, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to
have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

There is at least one idiot born every minute and sometimes it is your misfortune to meet it. I mean it because they aren't human surely?

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I'm A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone.

Oh so true. It's a sad world.

I have never seen any employee out in the carpark assisting/checking loads are packed right. Hard enough to get one to lift something heavy from the trolley to the car.
